If you Silent Image a wall in front of the enemy, they'll spend at least one round figuring out if it's real before they try to find a way around it; at the very least they won't be able to shoot at you through it.Color Spray is the exception, but the danger is that you already have to be close to the enemy to have it as a viable option; such proximity is inherently dangerous, and I would not seek that proximity, but hold that spell in reserve for self-defense.If you both lower your HP by 3 and seek out proximity to the enemy to knock them out in exchange for a 5% greater chance of doing so, I'd say you're putting yourself in a sticky situation without a reasonable payoff for doing so. But at that point it's a playstyle thing.</blockquote>
